Unity College welcomes students who come from community colleges as well as public and private colleges and universities and are interested in transferring. We’ll make sure your transfer goes smoothly, and that you receive maximum credit for post-secondary accomplishments. We’re glad you’re considering transferring to America’s Environmental College.

Transferring Credits to Unity College

Transfer students in good academic standing may be awarded up to 90 credit hours towards a Unity College bachelor’s degree from previous institutions. Courses counting as electives may not exceed 40 credit hours. Students must have earned a “C” or higher in order for the credit to be accepted in transfer.

Courses offered for transfer should be comparable to courses at Unity College, but other courses will be considered if appropriate to the student’s program of study.

Please contact Eric Farrell at efarrell@unity.edu / 207-509-7119 if you have any questions regarding credit transfer.
